I've been looking forward to this for a while. I enjoy Horde on gears 2 a lot, so firefight should be awesome.
If anyones keen to get a group together to play COOP or firefight, send me a friend request.

I'm going through the campaign mode at the moment. It's enjoyable so far but no great departure from the tried-and-true Halo game play. I, like you MS, believe that Firefight will ensure the game's longevity. People will be playing it long after they've forgotten about the campaign mode.

There's something I need to get off my chest, simply because I am so thoroughly overjoyed words can hardly describe: the pistol zoom is back in Halo, baby!

For those of you who have been following the epic Halo franchise since the early days in 2001, you probably remember a pretty awesome pistol zoom that allowed for some mighty accurate and powerful head-shots. Most fans will rejoice at this news I would imagine, and run out and pick up Halo 3: ODST. But if you just hang on a minute I'll put it in a context. Halo 3, although being a pretty great game, certainly had its flaws. While being nice and polished enough, it took away from the fun in some pretty distinct areas and stepped on some fans' toes in the process. In true Bungie style however, Halo 3: ODST feels like they’re trying to make up for something, and maybe, just maybe, they have spent a few years listening to feedback and refining their development.
